Thank You, American Voters. Good Riddance to Romney and McCain
Charles Darwin may have been right after all. It’s a bit like getting fired from a soul-deadening job. You’re free at last. Same might apply to that now-divorced worthless spouse you picked up in the local bar.
Isn’t it time for a new paradigm, a different approach, some new blood on the Right? No, not the Tea Party which has shown that it’s too lightweight to make a difference. Isn’t a sham resistance worse than none at all? The solution has nothing to do with finely tuned platform formulas when the only enemy to be reckoned with is the easily seduced 47% voting bloc, growing as you read, like a cancer, by design. Sadly, the Left will win all future elections with this brilliant strategy, even within the GOP. Didn’t the Obama campaign brush aside all pundit-type logic except this?
Didn’t the Sixties Revolution show us what a poor showing by the Right looks like? The John Birch Society had little fight or staying power. Neither did Barry Goldwater, who couldn’t even put together a win in an otherwise Republican state like South Dakota.
I’m all for local bravado and wishful thinking, but flyover states like South Dakota won’t make a difference in national politics, unless leaders can be fielded who can look past the myopia of their own careers. Perhaps candidates for statewide office should be tested for testosterone at the time papers are filed. Best to get rid of all Republicans sporting Viagra logos on their t-shirts.
Rather than the Tea Party attempting to take over a moribund Republican Party, is there any chance that the Right can take over the Tea Party instead? Sorry, but the Right doesn’t include fiscal “conservatives”. With nothing at stake in a non-battleground state like South Dakota, can’t a coalition of conservative Republicans and Democrats come up with something better?
